Quoting: JayViiThe Steam-Page shows Windows Systemrequirements ._.

... and it states it's a bug: "There seems to be a glitch with the store page, it says Minimum Windows System Requirements when it should not."
I thought Valve wouldn't even alow that.

Quoting: edddeduckferalI can say the solution won't be before the weekend given it's 7pm on a Friday night in the UK right now but we plan to email people via support with a status update next week once we have some concrete news to report.

So that puts it at "days". That's what I wanted to know. Thanks.

"Hours" in my humble opinion would be unreasonably fast for any non-trivial problem.
(I'm software developer, and the project I'm involved in couldn't even do a new complete software build in that time.)

One more question: I don't have a controller yet, is it playable with mouse and keyboard as fine as with controller or does it scream for a controller?

Quoting: edddeduckferalIf you buy from a third party and they don't explicitly say they are selling Linux or Mac keys then you've bought a Windows key. Bundle-star for example sell Windows keys.

Doesn't matter where you play the game on third party stores the sale is based on the steam keys they have purchased. Humble Bundle for example have a set of keys tagged as Windows, Mac and Linux and hand out the correct ones based on your platform so that the correct platform sale is recorded.

Good to know, thanks!

Not Feral's problem, but I fear I've got Pillars of Eternity stamped wrong then for buying it as a box. :-(
But it was just so beautiful, buying a Linux game in the store around the corner...!

@Liam: You should note this in your growing list of things to do and not to do to support Linux gaming. :)

Quoting: borartrHey, just bought the key from a Linux distribution on Steam, but not through client but through Firefox. Can someone explain whether that counts a Linux sale?? (Steam did register my OS and displayed corresponding games on the store page).

Yes it does

Do you know if buying on BundleStar and then using the Steam key under Linux counts?
We appreciate each and every crumb of information what is counted as Linux sale and what not.
Help us to help you. :)

Quoting: nocriCould someone report performance, details/resolution and graphic card ?
I am not sure whether to buy it since I have 740M and I'm worried about performance ...

Just wanted to write the same. :)
Any performance reports are welcome (my case would be a GTX660).

Quoting: nocriIts not something you would like to do on root partition, every other wont do much harm -- but CMON no one has steam data on root, right ?

This used to be the default of the file system.
So did you set it to differ from the default back then...?

Thanks for the tip but I dont want to risk losing my filesystem in case of powerfailure, I'd rather have it slow :)

You do not risk the whole file system, but just the last writes. I don't know about your place, but that's a safe bet here. If you want to have it even safer and still faster, you might try the tip from the comments, "commit=60".

Quoting: GuestBut I always get slow download speeds in steam, tried googling and some say dnsmasq improves it. Just tried that but no difference in speed. Anyone else had this and managed to fix it?

dnsmasq worked for me (of course, sometimes the servers are just slow), but some people suggested disabling write barriers as well (which used to be default some day, so I wouldn't consider it dangerous). Written down here:
